Firefox: March 2005 Archives
Mort posted a link to a very handy little firefox addon.
Based on Tidy (which I mentioned recently) the extension checks sites for valid HTML as you browse.
If there are any errors or warnings an icon in the corner subtly alerts you to them. Double-clicking on the icon brings up a screen with a lot more detail.
It's a very nice little addition, though I don't understand why the developer hasn't put it in the official firefox extensions' repository.
I grabbed a copy of it this evening just to see if it was any good. So far I am impressed. It seems to be able to find emails a lot faster than Outlook, which isn't much of a surprise. The only thing I can't see anyway of choosing which elements to search through:
Maybe I'm missing an option, but if I want to find an email quickly and even respond to it the integration seems excellent - except I may end up looking through a lot of other stuff first....
It does support firefox and they also provide an API/SDK for developers who want to add support for other application types. For example, there is a Trillian plugin available.
It's been indexing my hard drives for the last couple of hours and the results so far are proving interesting. When I do a Google search it shows me local results as well as the web ones. Very tasty!
